description Tämä tutkimus tarkastelee organisaatioiden kokonaisarkkitehtuuriajattelun laajuutta. Kokonaisarkkitehtuuri (KA) on usein nähty jokseenkin epämääräisenä ja vaikeasti lähestyttävänä. Jopa kokonaisarkkitehtuurin ammattilaisten keskuudessa puuttuu usein yhteisymmärrys siitä, mitä kokonaisarkkitehtuuri tarkoittaa kunkin ajattelussa. Tutkimus valaisee taustalla vaikuttavia kokonaisarkkitehtuurin laajuutta ohjaavia ajattelumalleja, kokonaisarkkitehtuurin laajuutta erilaisissa käytännön konfiguraatioissa, erilaisten kokonaisarkkitehtuurin laajuutta koskevien valintojen vaikutuksia sekä erilaisia kontekstitekijöitä, jotka voivat vaikuttaa kokonaisarkkitehtuurin laajuuteen. Tutkimus toteutettiin kahdessa osassa. Systemaattisen kirjallisuuskatsauksen avulla luotiin läpileikkaus kokonaisarkkitehtuurin laajuutta koskevaan keskusteluun aiemmassa kirjallisuudessa. Tämän jälkeen ymmärrystä rikastettiin empiirisen tutkimuksen avulla kvalitatiivisesti. Empiirinen aineisto kerättiin suomalaisilta kokonaisarkkitehtuurin ammattilaisilta puolistrukturoitujen haastattelujen avulla ja analysoitiin käyttäen lähestymistapana tulkitsevaa sisältöanalyysiä. Tutkimuksen tärkeimmät löydökset tuovat esille kokonaisarkkitehtuurin laajuuden monitahoisen luonteen, joitakin organisaatioiden kokonaisarkkitehtuurin laajuuteen vaikuttavia trendejä, mahdollisen päällekkäisyyden kokonaisarkkitehtuurin ja johtamisen tieteenalojen välillä, useita kokonaisarkkitehtuurin laajuuteen vaikuttavia käytännön kysymyksiä, kokonaisarkkitehtuurilaajuuden kontekstisidonnaisen luonteen sekä imago-ongelman kokonaisarkkitehtuurin laajuuteen vaikuttavana haasteena. This study explores the scope of organisations’ Enterprise Architecture thinking. Enterprise Architecture (EA) is often seen as something ambiguous and difficult to grasp. Even among the Enterprise Architecture practitioners themselves, there is often no consensus on what actually constitutes Enterprise Architecture in their respective thinking. The study sheds light on the various underlying ideas shaping the approaches that are being taken towards the Enterprise Architecture scoping, the various scopes of the real-life Enterprise Architecture configurations, the impact of various Enterprise Architecture scoping choices as well as the various contextual factors affecting the scope of Enterprise Architecture. The study was conducted in two parts. A systematic literature review was conducted in order to provide a cross-section view of the Enterprise Architecture scoping discussions in the prior literature. An empirical study was then conducted in order to enrich the understanding by providing additional qualitative insight. The empirical data was gathered from Finnish Enterprise Architecture practitioners using semi-structured interviews and analysed by applying an interpretive content analysis approach. The key findings of the study point out the multifaceted nature of Enterprise Architecture scoping, some of the current trends that are affecting the organisations’ approaches towards Enterprise Architecture scoping, the potential overlap observed between the scopes of the Enterprise Architecture discipline and various management disciplines, several practical Enterprise Architecture scoping related considerations, the highly contextual nature of Enterprise Architecture scoping as well as the image problem potentially affecting the scope of Enterprise Architecture.
